Kansas Creative Arts Industries Commission Press Release
TOPEKA
– While Kansans are pulling together their W-2s and other documents to
prepare their 2017 annual tax returns, the Kansas Creative Arts
Industries Commission (KCAIC) would like to remind Kansans they may
direct all or part of their state income tax refund to support the arts.
Individuals who will receive a refund will have an “Arts Checkoff”
option to donate a portion of the refund to the KCAIC. The Kansas
Department of Revenue will send the designated amount of the refund to
the KCAIC.
“Funds
received through the Arts Checkoff help support artists and
organizations across Kansas that are using the arts to grow the economy
and better their communities,” said KCAIC Director Peter Jasso.
“Directing a portion of their state income tax refund to the KCAIC is a
convenient way for Kansans to help support the arts in our state.”
All
funds that the KCAIC receives through the “Arts Checkoff” will directly
fund arts programming in Kansas. The KCAIC offers several programs that
support artists and organizations in communities across the state.
Programs include the Strategic Investment Program, the Arts Integration
Program, New Dance and New Play Labs and the Tallgrass Artist Residency.
